I have successfully killed an entire day, yes I will probably work tonight, but still. I did however; look at the recent posts of several hundred blogs. (Enough to reset the history file in IE to zero, which I didn’t know could happen.)
Subtracting the many many blogs that aren’t in English, (like nearly half) I found some interesting things.
There are a lot of truly great artists out there (and a fair number of crappy ones too.) I saw some work that is truly outstanding, especially in the digital medias. I even found some good blogs that I might read again on things like how to self publish, to the rise of big pharma in India, so blogging is not a total waste of time. On the other hand there is some stuff that is.
Most of the poetry and music sites really suxed, seriously girls don’t write poetry about your cat or and ode to the cute guy on the train, and guys if you are upper middle class living in a suburb I do not I repeat do not attempt to rap or do metal rap (al la Limp, Linkin, Korn, etc). It doesn’t work, you sound stupid, and you are going to end up with a girl who writes poems about her cat Snickers in pink glitter ink anyways…
I need to pick on the girls abit now I know lots of women who write poetry to express the things that are otherwise inexpressible, and I have read some disturbing (but good) stuff. Here is the thing, for a poem that isn’t a limerick to be good it needs to have deep and have powerful emotion, and therefore is not something you put on a blog. So if you wrote a poem in 3rd period Spanish class about what a loser the teacher is compared to cute boy of the day #29363-1alpha, then it is not something the world needs to see. Plus it will not impress 29363-1alpha should he ever see it, (just something to think about girls.)
Since I am picking on girls (don’t worry I will get to the boys soon) be careful what you post on your blog, especially if you use names, and never use last names. Why do you think your bother was always trying to read your diary when you were young? He wanted dirty on you. Ladies (girls) play it cool with the boys, if he doesn’t call you right away don’t go off about him on your blog. First off he might be unable to call you since he is unable to find the time to make a call that will last long enough not to piss you off. (Remember girls men know is easier to be forgiven for not calling that is for calling getting into conversation and having to go before it is resolved.) However, once you call him names that I will not use, and compare him to various animals’ fecal matter, he will not be calling back. However, if he did dump you, and your anger was justified, etc your log of psychotic behavior is there for the entire world to see. Trust me men will pass you over in a heart beat if they think you are a psycho, and a day by day journal of anger and misery is not something you want the guy, you want too marry finding, esp early on. Ladies, trust me unless you can do a Barr body test (the best way to be sure someone is female) prior to reading your site don’t post stuff that men won’t empathize with (like emotions especially how sad you get without him, kinda stuff, it shifts the balance of power away from you, to him since he has proof you are insecure and needy.) Look most men can’t use empathy in a sentence, much less understand it.
Now the boys turn. Ok men are just stupid and ignorant in their blogs. One guy was documenting his cocaine addiction, I mean seriously if you have the presence of mind to blog it, perhaps you could maybe get help? The opinions and ideas expressed by men and boys again are not something that should be posted openly. Sure all the guys on your softball team think killing all the “ragheads” is a good idea, but is writing a multipage essay on it such a good idea? Oh and technically hundreds of pictures of babes is in not a blog, but it would be an excellent tear off calendar. The one thing that struck me is there were no naked pictures, I mean Zero! That is impressive because the internet is the largest depository of pornography in history, which also happens to sell books. ;) Ok, that wasn’t much picking on men, but since I can summarize so readily, I don’t need a lot of words.
The best blogs were the ones by the real whackjobs. You know who I am talking about, the positive energy, alien abduction, astral focusing ones. I am cool with tree huggers since someone needs to do it, most alterative lifestyles don’t make me blink an eye, and I have chatted with the “end of world” people on the street but there are some people who just aren’t right. Now there are those who say I am not quite right, and I would tend to agree, but I am not that far gone. I mean if Alchemy and magic were real I would have an advanced degree in them, I would go to high schools on career day and give talks on jobs available chimera research, and soul transfiguration. However, until my Ouija board can spell words I can’t spell, I will remain skeptical, but amused. On the other hand, if changing the color of Bush’s aura to off mauve will bring peace in the middle east or building a huge magic circle on the gulf coast using oil platforms will stop the hurricanes I am totally in favor of these efforts. So that it is clear where I stand on this issue I am firmly against praying to Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar and asking The Traveler to come.
